PITA®
U.S. Patents #7,455,301 & 8,066,843
Expanded PTFE encapsulated corrugated 316 SS metal insert uses no glue offers complete chemical inertness with low minimum stress to seat and low torque loss.
Innovative & Patented Technology
LoadLock®
U.S. Patent Pending
Expanded PTFE & 316 SS metal tang laminate uses no glue. Chemical inertness, low sealing stress, high load capacity and extreme blow-out resistance.
CycleTight®
U.S. Patent #6,824,140
Engineered for general purpose railcar manways. Utilizes a 316SS insert encapsulated in highly compressible ePTFE to provide widest chemical compatibility, seal against uneven surfaces and compensate for railcar vibration to support multiple re-use.
CargoTight®
U.S. Patent #9,944,459
Engineered for tank trailers and tank containers. Non-contaminating virgin PTFE complies with FDA 21 CFR 177.1550. V-Notch™ centers CargoTight on the manway nozzle and works together with dynamic stainless steel spring core to minimize the effects of gasket relaxation.
VSP Technologies’ Engineers & Specialists currently have 14 patents for fluid-sealing products with more pending.

In the fluid sealing industry, gaskets don’t fail - the process fails. That is why using Six Sigma methodology, our Gasket Management programs are built around VSP being involved in every step of the gasket use process enabling us to:
Identify and understand limitations within current processes
Optimize processes by designing and implementing solutions based on particular needs
Control future outcomes by establishing standards and conducting training to ensure solutions, and cost savings, are sustained
